Getting ready to upgrade
 
I'm ready to update from my 14 year old Outback. I've got my eye on a 2017 Camo.
Of course the dilemma, being this close to 2018 models is...should I wait?
It's difficult to imagine room for very much improvement with the Outback but the creative minds at Hobie never fail to surprise.
How long before we find out?

I've had my 2017 for a little over a month now and absolutely love it! Not sure what they could upgrade on it, other than maybe a square hatch vs. the round. It's a great boat!

I'm definitely going to install a rectangle box on mine after I get it.

Which will work out now that I found out a mid August timeframe when I'll have the funds (I'm selling my boat).

No changes, just a minor upgrade to the mirage 180.

Yes. But are the Hobie dealers like the car dealers. Sell off last years models at a good price in order to make room for the new models?

Ya I got my 2016 outback new for 1900 when the 2017s came out. I guess its just up to the shop.

If you want a deal on the 2018 models, wait until the Fred Hall show or other shows, you can usually get good deals then.
